WE HAVE A NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH ABOUT 9,000 MILES ON IT. THE STEERING ON THIS CAR IS "STRANGE" MAKING IT UNSAFE-- IT IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP IT IN A STEADY/SMOOTH LINE WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH OR GREATER -- YOU NEED TO MAKE CONSTANT MINUTE CORRECTIVE MOVEMENTS TO THE STEERING WHEEL. AT TIMES IT SEEMS TO DRIFT ON IT'S OWN LEFT AND RIGHT - LIKE IT'S BEING BLOWN AROUND BY A GUST OF WIND - BUT THE WIND ISN'T BLOWING! *TR

I WAS DRIVING A RENTAL 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA IN SIESTA KEY, FL. I CAME TO A STOP ON A BUSY DOWNTOWN STREET ON A FRIDAY NIGHT. AS I SAT AT A COMPLETE STOP WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AS PEDESTRIANS WERE CROSSING, THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED FORWARD. I DID NOT HAVE MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL & AS THIS HAPPENED, I HELD MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE TO AVOID HITTING THE PEDESTRIANS. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO HOLD THE CAR BACK UNTIL THE ACCELERATION ENDED. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE THE PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA ACCELERATION WAS MADE PUBLIC. I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO THE ENTERPRISE CAR RENTAL AGENCY IN PORT CHARLOTTE FL, WHERE I RENTED IT, BUT THEY DID NOT SEEM CONCERNED. IT WASN'T UNTIL A WEEK LATER THAT THIS STORY WAS IN THE NEWS. I CALLED THE NHTSB TO FILE A COMPLAINT, I'M FILING THIS COMPLAINT AGAIN AFTER HEARING THE GOV'T RESPONSE TO THE STUDY OF THIS PROBLEM. FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, I KNOW FOR A FACT THIS IS NOT CORRECT. THIS CAR I DROVE DID NOT HAVE THE PEDAL STICK OR FLOOR MAT PROBLEM. IT DEFINITELY ACCELERATED COMPLETELY ON IT'S OWN WITHOUT THE PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED. IF NEEDED , I MAY BE ABLE TO LOCATE THE VIN FROM MY RENTAL RECEIPT. *TR

DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING AND STEERING CAR AT 60 MPH GOING ACROSS BRIDGE. THERE WAS SOME WIND BUT NOT STRONG ENOUGH IN MY OPINION THAT SHOULD HAVE CAUSE ME TO BE SO AWARE OF THE DRIFTING. *TR

I LEASED A 2010 COROLLA IN DEC,2010. WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES THE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. TOOK BACK TO DEALER AND HE SAID HE DROVE ANOTHER COROLLA AND THE BRAKE OPERATED THE SAME WAY, HE SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG SINCE THE VEHICLE STOPPED O.K. IF YOU PUMP THE PEDAL ONCE THE BRAKES ENGAGE THE WAY THEY SHOULD...I THING THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2010 COROLLAS ON JAN 13TH. WHEN I DROVE IT HOME FOR THE FIRST TIME, I FOUND IT WAS VERY HARD TO KEEP IT IN THE CENTER OF THE LANE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I HAD TO KEEP ADJUSTING MY STEERING WHEEL. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER TWO DAYS LATER. THEY MADE SOME ADJUST AND IT IS NOT THAT BAD NOW, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I THINK THIS PROBLEM IS MORE SERIOUS THAN THE GAS PEDAL PROBLEM, BECAUSE THIS AFFECT DRIVING IMMEDIATELY AND DIRECTLY. TOYOTA SAYS THAT THIS IS HOW EPS IS DESIGNED, AND WE HAVE TO ADAPT OURSELVES. BUT NO MATTER HOW THE STEERING SYSTEM IS DESIGNED, MOVING STRAIGHT FORWARD SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE. *TR

TOOK DELIVERY OF MY NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA ON JANUARY 13TH, 2010. I AM EXPERIENCING STEERING PROBLEMS WHERE THE CAR DRIFTS/SHIFTS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITHOUT ANY INPUT. FEELS LIKE A STIFF WIND PUSHING THE CAR FROM ONE SIDE TO ANOTHER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH ATTEMPTING TO STOP. WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE AND PULSATE CAUSING A DECREASE IN THE STOPPING DISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE FAILURE WAS A NORMAL OCCURRENCE DUE TO THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM SENSITIVITY WHEN DEPRESSED AND WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THAT THERE WOULD BE A RESPONSE WITHIN A TWO DAY PERIOD. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000. UPDATED 05/18/10. *LJ

MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA DRIFTED FROM LANE WHILE DRIVING. I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK INTO THE CORRECT LANE, BUT IT DRIFTED BACK OUT OF LANE AND I HAD TO REDUCE SPEED TO PROPERLY CORRECT THE SITUATION AND AVOID SIDE-SWIPING A VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES AS I DRIVE TO WORK ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. *TR

WE PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CAR WILL DRIFT OR VEER TO LEFT AND SOMETIMES TO THE RIGHT. THE STEERING APPEARS UNSTABLE. WE HAVE RETURNED THE CAR TWICE TO BE FIXED AND WERE ADVISED IT IS OK. MY HUSBAND DESCRIBES THE PROBLEM SIMILAR TO DRIVING AN OLD CAR WITH BAD TIE RODS OR WHERE THE BALL JOINTS WERE SHOT. HE WILL NOT ALLOW MYSELF OF MY DAUGHTER WHO WE BOUGHT THE CAR FOR, TO DRIVE IT. WE ARE FEARFUL OF IT DRIFTING OR VEERING INTO ANOTHER CAR OF SEMI ON THE HIGHWAY. NOTE THIS IS A FREQUENT OCCURRING PROBLEM. THIS BEGAN ON JANUARY 12 WHEN WE PURCHASED IT AND HAS CONTINUED. *TR

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA, WITH DEFECTIVE SEAT AND STEERING APPARATUS. I HAVE EXPRESSED MY CONCERN WITH THE MANUFACTURE AND THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO RESOLUTION. *TR

MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA IS UNSAFE, BECAUSE OF ITS STEERING MECHANISM. THE CAR STABILITY IS UNSAFE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, BECAUSE IT DRIVES ALL OVER THE ROAD. IT FEELS LIKE I'M DRIVING ON BLACK ICE ,CONSTANTLY, TRYING TO COMPENSATE FOR THE OVER STEER. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS EVERYTIME DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS WILL CAUSE A ACCIDENT IF I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ONLY TO HEAR THEM SAY THAT THE CAR IS WITHIN SPEC. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH WITH AN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE MALFUNCTION AND WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,100. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

TWO PROBLEMS, 1) ACCELERATOR IS HARD TO MODULATE WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP, WILL GO AT HIGHER SPEED THAN WANTED. 2) ONCE IN A WHILE WHEN COMING TO A STOP, THE BRAKES FEEL LIKE THEY PULSE, OR THE VEHICLE JUST HIT A SMALL PATCH OF ICE WHEN THERE WAS NO ICE. A WEIRD FEELING. I DON'T KNOW IF THE CAR ACTUALLY GOES A FEW FEET FURTHER THAN I WANTED IT TO OR IF THERE IS JUST A PULSE THAT MAKES YOU FEEL THAT WAY. *CW

FEB. 15, 2010 TO: NATIONAL HIGHWAY SAFETY ADMINISTRATION RE.: DEFECT IN TOYOTA COROLLA I RECENTLY REPORTED TO BOTH MY LOCAL TOYOTAL DEALERSHIP AND TO TOYOTA MOTOR SALES USA (NATIONAL CUSTOMER RELATIONS, 9001 SOUTHWESTERN AVE, DEPT. WC11; TORRANCE, CA 90509) THAT THE PLAY ON THE TRUNK LID ON OUR 2010 COROLLA WAS SO LOOSE THAT EVEN THOUGH THE TRUNK LID WOULD BE PUSHED ALL THE WAY UP, A SUDDEN GUST OF WIND WOULD SEND IT FLYING DOWN ON WHOEVER WAS LOADING ITEMS INTO THE TRUNK. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO MY WIFE. ON ONE OCCASION THE LID CAME DOWN ON MY WIFE'S HEAD AND AGAIN ON HER ARM ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED PHOTO SHOWING THE EFFECT OF THE LID BEING BLOWN DOWN ON HER ARM. THE DEALER AGREED THAT COMPARED TO THE TRUNK LID ON MY CAMRY, THE LID ON THE COROLLA DID INDEED SWING TOO FREELY AND THAT THE CAUSE WAS A DESIGN FLAW AS THE LID WAS FUNCTIONING WITHIN THE MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATIONS . THE DEALER SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT TOYOTA. I DID THAT, EXPLAINED THE SITUATION, AND WAS ASSIGNED CASE. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE REGARDING THIS DESIGN FLAW. PERHAPS YOU CAN CONVINCE TOYOTA TO REDUCE THE "PLAY" ON THE TRUNK LID SO THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY USE THE TRUNK OF THE CAR WITHOUT EXPERIENCING INJURY. *TR

FROM THE DAY I PURCHASE THE CAR (A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA) AND DROVE IT OFF THE LOT WITH ONLY 16 MILES. I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WOULD CONSTANTLY OVER CORRECT AND ATTEMPT TO DRIFT OUTSIDE ITS LANE AT HIGH SPEEDS (ABOVE 45 MPH). AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT WAS SIMPLY A NEW CAR BREAKING IN AND MY BROTHER'S CAR (A 2008 MAZDA 3) SHOW THE SAME BEHAVIORS BUT QUICKLY WENT AWAY THE MORE HE DROVE (AROUND THE 500 MILE MARK). HOWEVER, THIS DID NOT OCCUR IN MY VEHICLE AND I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING TO DEAL WITH THE OVERLY SENSITIVE STEERING OF THE CAR. THIS IS HAS AN AFFECT OF TIRING ME OUT FROM ALL THE OVER CORRECTION. CURRENTLY, I HAVE GARAGED THE TOYOTA AWAITING WORD FROM THE DEALER ON THE GAS PEDAL REPAIRS AND USING MY OLDSMOBILE. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. I HOLD NO ILL WILL TOWARDS THE DEALERS, IN FACT I FEEL BAD THAT THEY ARE CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE. I CERTAINLY WOULD LIKE TOYOTA TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *TR

TOYOTA COROLLA 2010 STEERING ISSUE. CAR DOES FEEL LIKE IT COULD GO OUT OF CONTROL. FEELS LIKE A STRONG WIND IS BLOWING AGAINST THE CAR. MOSTLY AT A HIGHER SPEED. LIKE WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I DON'T HAVE VIN NUMBER BECAUSE I TRADED THE CAR IN. MY WIFE ALWAYS FELT LIKE SHE WAS GETTING CAR SICK. *TR

2010 COROLLA IS UNSTABLE AT SPEED OVER APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. THE CAR WANDERS DANGEROUSLY TO LEFT AND RIGHT, BEING PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE TO ANY CROSS WIND OR TURBULENCE FROM OTHER VEHICLES. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO USE ANY VEHICLE CONTROLS (SUCH AS TURNING ON THE DEFROSTER) WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITHOUT HAVING THE CAR VEER SUDDENLY OFF COURSE. THE CAR FEELS AS IF IT IS MISSING A SUSPENSION COMPONENT IN THE FRONT END- THERE IS A DANGEROUS LACK OF STABILITY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I EVEN PURCHASED NEW TIRES AFTER ONLY 2000 MILES IN AN ATTEMPT TO ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM, BUT IT IS THE CAR AND NOT THE TIRES CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

ON 2/8/10 TOYOTA PERFORMED A RECALL REPAIR OF THE GAS PEDAL ON MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. AFTER THE REPAIR WAS FINISHED, I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE IDLE SPEED WAS HIGHER AND THE VEHICLE TOOK LONGER TO STOP WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. *TR

I BOUGHT A NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S AND REALIZED THAT I CAN'T CONTROL THE STEERING AT SPEEDS OVER 50MPH. THIS PROBLEM WAS NOTED, TO MY SALESMAN, THE SAME DAY I PURCHASED THE CAR. MY WHOLE FAMILY, INCLUDING MYSELF, MADE A LIVING SELLING CARS. I'VE DRIVEN IN MANY DIFFERENT CARS AND KNOW WHEN SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT. THE COROLLA'S STEERING IS DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE TO BE ON THE ROAD. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE MANAGER EVEN NOTED THAT THERE IS A STEERING ISSUE, BUT TOYOTA DOESN'T HAVE A FIX. I TALKED TO A REPRESENTATIVE AT TOYOTA'S CORPORATE OFFICE, BUT HE TOLD ME THEY CAN'T HELP UNTIL THEIR IS A PROBLEM. WHEN I DRIVE ON THE EXPRESS WAY THE CAR'S STEERING IS UNPREDICTABLE, UNSAFE, AND DEFECTIVE. I'M FORCED TO DRIVE THIS CAR BECAUSE IT'S MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A DELAY WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ENGAGED. THE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED IN FAIR WEATHER CONDITIONS AND ON UNEVEN PAVEMENT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 5000.

2010 COROLLA S. WHEN HITTING POTHOLE, UNEVEN SURFACES, OR WHEN VEHICLE WEIGHT SHIFTS SUCH AS GOING OVER THE TOP OF A HILL THE VEHICLES ABS COMES ON AND VEHICLE DELAYS IN STOPPING. THE BRAKE PEDAL VIBRATES BUT THE CAR IS NOT IN A SKID HAPPENS AT LOW SPEEDS 25 MILES PER HOUR OR LESS. *TR

I BOUGHT MY TOYOTA COROLLA S ON DECEMBER 30, 2009. WITHIN A WEEK OF PURCHASING THE CAR, I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEGAN TO FEEL SPONGY AND NON-RESPONSIVE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS INITIALLY TOLD THAT THIS MODEL HAD A LONGER BRAKE TRAVEL THAN PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS. I PERSISTED IN GETTING THE DEALER TO ADJUST THE REAR LININGS AND BLEED THE BRAKES AND THIS SEEMED TO HELP SOMEWHAT. BUT AS THE BRAKES WEAR, I CAN FEEL THE PROBLEM OCCURRING AGAIN. THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DIFFICULT TO MODULATE, HAS A SPONGY, NON-LINEAR FEEL THAT INCREASES BRAKING DISTANCES AND MAKES THE CAR MORE DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. I FEEL THAT THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THESE CARS THAT SHOULD BE RECTIFIED IMMEDIATELY BY TOYOTA. *TR

THE BRAKE OF TOYOTA COROLLA 2010 DOES NOT RESPOND EFFECTIVELY. IT IS HARD TO MAKE A COMPLETE STOP EVEN IT IS COMPLETELY PRESSED DOWN TO THE FLOOR, WHICH IS REALLY SCARY. I AM IN EL PASO, AND IT IS A HOT AREA. SO THE BRAKE RECALL ON SOME OF THE COLD STATES DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. IT SHOULD RECALL ALL OF THE COROLLA 2010 FOR BRAKE FIX. *TR

FAILURE OF BRAKES WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT HAS HAPPENED QUITE FREQUENTLY. I LIVE ON A DIRT ROAD WHICH IS WASH-BOARD BUMPY. I ALSO EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM PULLING INTO MY PARKING SPOT AT WORK WHICH IS BUMPY. THE BRAKES FAIL AND THE CAR MAKES A NOISE WHEN GOING OVER THE BUMPS. AFTER THE BUMPS, IT CORRECTS ITSELF. NO CARS I HAVE DRIVEN OVER THE SAME CONDITIONS HAS EXHIBITED THIS PROBLEM. I HEARD ABOUT THE PRIUS PROBLEM AND THAT WAS THE EXACT PROBLEM I HAD EXPERIENCED. I AM NOT SURE HOW LONG IT HAS HAPPENED, OR HOW MANY MILES I HAD ON THE CAR WHEN I NOTICED IT THE FIRST TIME. ALL I KNOW IS THAT IT IS STILL HAPPENING. *TR

MY NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S HAS AN ISSUE WITH STAYING ON THE HIGHWAY. MY CAR SEEMS TO PULL TO THE LEFT WHEN I GET UP TO 55-60MPH. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER WITH THIS COMPLAINT AND THEY DID SAY ONE TIRE WAS A LITTLE LOW. THEY HAVE PUT AIR IN BUT IT DID NOT CHANGE. *TR

STEERING "WANDERS" SLIGHTLY MOST OF THE TIME, RESPONDING TO ROAD SURFACE, WIND, PASSING TRUCKS AND OTHER VEHICLES. IT FEELS LIKE I DO NOT HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL OVER WHERE MY CAR GOES -- THAT THERE IS NO DIRECT CONTROL OVER THE STEERING BY THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS REQUIRES 100% ATTENTION TO THE CAR'S DIRECTION BECAUSE, IF I LOOK AWAY EVEN FOR A MOMENT, THE CAR DRIFTS ON ITS OWN. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I OWNED AND DROVE AN EARLIER MODEL TOYOTA COROLLA (2004) UNTIL I BOUGHT THIS CAR; IN THE 2004 MODEL, THE STEERING WAS PRECISE AND THE CAR HELD THE ROAD BEAUTIFULLY. THE EARLIER CAR HELD THE LINE I ESTABLISHED. NOT SO THE NEW ONE -- IT HAS BEEN CHANGED, AND THE CHANGE LEAVES THE CAR IN CONTROL, NOT THE DRIVER. I FEEL LIKE I GO "WIGGLING" DOWN THE ROAD, NOT DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. NOTE: I AM STRUGGLING TO FIND THE RIGHT WORDS TO DESCRIBE THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM AND BECAUSE IT IS SO DIFFERENT FROM MY EARLIER TOYOTA COROLLA. HAS TOYOTA REDESIGNED THE STEERING SYSTEM? IF SO, THEY MESSED IT UP! I HOPE THIS HELPS THEM GET IT FIXED. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS ALL THE TIME!!!! *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA COUPLE MONTHS AGO AND EVER SINCE IT'S BEEN HAVING BRAKE PROBLEMS. QUITE OFTEN, THE VEHICLE FAILS TO STOP WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES WHICH MAKES ME BRAKE HARDER OR DOWN SHIFT TO SLOW DOWN IN TIME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIXED AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE A DAY AND BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE ENCOUNTERED MANY TIMES WHERE I ALMOST GOT IN ACCIDENTS. *TW

WE HAVE A NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH ABOUT 3,000 MILES ON IT. THE STEERING ON THIS CAR IS "STRANGE" -- IT HAS LITTLE TO NO ROAD FEEDBACK AND SEEMS TO HAVE "DEAD SPOTS" IN IT -- YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT MORE EFFORT TO GET PASS THESE. THE RESULT IS THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP IT IN A STEADY/SMOOTH LINE WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY -- YOU NEED TO MAKE CONSTANT CORRECTIVE MOVEMENTS TO THE STEERING WHEEL. THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO ROAD FEEL/FEEDBACK CONTRIBUTES TO THIS PROBLEM. WHILE I NEED TO ENTER A DATE TO PROCEED WITH THIS COMPLAINT FORM, THIS STEERING ISSUE OCCURS AT ALL TIMES SINCE WE HAVE OWNED THE CAR. WE ALSO HAVE A 2002 TOYOTA AVALON -- AND ITS STEERING AND ROAD FEEL IS GREAT. *TR

THE STEERING IN MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA "S" IS HARD TO CONTROL AND, I FEEL UNSAFE, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE CAR WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD, REQUIRING CONSTANT CORRECTION. HOWEVER, OFTEN MINOR CORRECTIONS FAIL TO HAVE ANY EFFECT, AND MAJOR CORRECTIONS RESULT IN OVERCORRECTION, OFTEN MAKING THE CAR LEAVE THE LANE. TOYOTA CLAIMS THIS IS JUST THE NATURE OF ITS "ELECTRIC" STEERING. I DISAGREE. I NO LONGER DRIVE MY CAR (BRAND NEW, MIND YOU... FEWER THAN 2,000 MILES) ON THE HIGHWAY. THE PROBLEM ISN'T PRESENT AT CITY SPEEDS. *TR

STEERING ISSUES......VEHICLE BEGINS SHAKING AT SPEEDS OVER 35 MPH. *TR

MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LE SEEMS TO WANDER RANDOMLY LEFT OR RIGHT. IT IS DIFFICULT TO TRAVEL IN A STRAIGHT LINE WITHOUT FREQUENT ADJUSTMENT TO THE STEERING COLUMN. IT FEELS LIKE I AM DRIVING ON A WINDY DAY AND THE CAR IS BEING TOSSED AROUND. ACTUALLY, ANY WIND AT ALL ONLY MAKES THE MATTER MUCH WORSE. ALMOST FEELS LIKE THE REAR END OF THE CAR HAS A SLIGHT FISHTAILING. THIS IS ALL MOST NOTICEABLE AT 45 MPH AND ABOVE. LOCAL SERVICE DEPT. COULD NOT LOOK AT IT FOR THREE WEEKS. I WILL NOT LET MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DRIVE THIS CAR. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR ONLY SIX WEEKS AND WOULD SURELY GIVE IT BACK IF I COULD. DISAPPOINTED THAT I DID NOT GET A RESPONSE TO MY EMAILS SENT TO TOYOTA. *TR

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S PURCHASED IN DECEMBER 2009. I REPORTED TO TOYOTA THE FACT THAT MY CAR'S STEERING SEEMS TO WANDER ALL OVER ON THE POST-PURCHASE SURVEY SENT TO ME. IT HAPPENS DAILY ON MY WORK COMMUTE OF 35 MILES ONE WAY. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE, THERE HAS BEEN NO CONTACT. *TR

MY TOYOTA COROLLA SWAYS BACK AND FORTH VERY BADLY ABOVE SPEEDS OF AROUND 40 TO 50 MPH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LE. WHILE SITTING IDLE IN THE PARKING POSITION, THE VEHICLE MOMENTARILY LUNGED FORWARD. WHILE TRAVELING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AS LOW AS 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD VEER TO THE RIGHT. ALSO, THE KEYLESS REMOTE, WHICH ALSO ACTS AS A VEHICLE LOCATOR, WOULD ONLY OPERATE INTERMITTENTLY. OFTEN, THE VEHICLE LOCATOR ALARM WOULD GO OFF ON WITHOUT DRIVER INPUT. THE DEALER ADVISED CHANGING THE BATTERIES IN THE KEYLESS REMOTE. THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE DEALER THEN ATTEMPTED TO REPROGRAM THE KEYLESS ALARM SENSOR AND ADVISED THE LOCATOR COULD ONLY BE USED FOR SHORT-RANGE LOCATING. NO FURTHER REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 6,300. THE CONSUMER STATED THE BRAKES DID NOT PERFORM AS DESIGNED. UPDATED 07/19/10*JB

I HAVE 2010 COROLLO SPORT IF I AM DRIVING ON 45 MILE/HOUR AND HIT THE BRAKE THEN REMOVE MY LEG FROM THE BRAKE. THE CAR MAINTAIN SPEED OF 20-25 MILE/H FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES. I TOOK TO THE DEALER THEY TEST IT AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THIS HAPPENS. AND THEY TOLD ME THIS IS A NORMAL BEHAVIOR, AND I KNOW IT IS NOT

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH THE VEHICLE BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT FASTER SPEEDS THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES STIFF. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD LOOSEN UP AS THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO DRIVE SINCE IT WAS A NEW VEHICLE. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125.

WHEN I DROVE MY 2010 COROLLA FROM THE DEALER IT HAD FIVE MILES ON IT. WITHIN ONE HALF MILE I REALIZED THAT THE CAR WANDERED LEFT AND RIGHT AND NEEDED ME TO STEER LEFT AND RIGHT TO KEEP THE CAR IN THE CENTER OF THE ROAD. I KNEW RIGHT AWAY THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE CASTER ADJUSTMENT WAS SET SO THE CASTER WAS FACED FORWARD. I BROUGHT IT BACK AND THE SERVICE MGR SAID IT WAS DESIGNED TO HAVE THE CASTER SET FORWARD BY TWO DEGREES. I AM 72 AND A CAR GUY. A FORWARD CASTER WILL CAUSE THE CAR NOT TO BE ABLE TO STEER STRAIGHT. IT WAS TO BE DRIVEN BY MY GRAND DAUGHTER WHO HAS 18 MONTHS DRIVING EXPERIENCE. WE BROUGHT IT IN FOR SERVICE TO HAVE THE CASTER SET TO 'FOLLOW' RATHER THAN 'LEAD'. THE SERVICE PEOPLE SAID IT WAS SET TO TOYOTA DESIGNS OF TWO DEGREES FORWARD. THAT IS THE PROBLEM ALONG WITH, MAYBE, SOMETHING IN THE ELECTRONIC CONTROLS THAT MIGHT BE ADDING TO THE PROBLEM. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED. IF TOYOTA DOESN'T SPEAK TO THIS AND CORRECT IT I NEED TO HAVE THIS CAR REPLACED BY AN AMISH HORSE AND CARRIAGE. TOYOTA HAS INTRODUCED A NEW FEATURE THAT IS DEADLY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. ONE WEEK AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO EXHIBIT STEERING FAILURES. WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD CONSTANTLY MOVE BACK AND FORTH WITHOUT DRIVER INTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ATTEMPTED TO ALIGN THE STEERING WHEEL BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER ON TWO OCCASIONS FOR THE SAME FAILURE. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE MAY HAVE BEEN DESIGNED TO OPERATE IN THAT MANNER. THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 982 AND THE CURRENT WAS 6,220. UPDATED 05/06/10. *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS VERY UNSTABLE. ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE DEALER PERFORMED TWO ALIGNMENTS, BUT IT DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. UPDATED 07/16/10.*JB
